Geophysical Investigation of the Seismogenic Monitoring Center, Ile-Ife
Journal Title: Physical Science & Biophysics Journal - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
2D electrical resistivity tomography was observed at Ile-Ife seismographic station, Osun state Nigeria with the aim of investigating the geological structures beneath the station in order to identify areas of anomalous resistivity that might be related to fractures or fault lines and also determine the lithology of the subsurface. This is to ensure that data observed by the seismic station are gotten with less noise. The data was carried out with Terrameter SAS 1000 and ES 464 electrode selector equipment. Dipole-dipole configuration at electrode spacing of 2 m was used to acquire the data. The result showed that the station is underlain by three layers; overburden composed of lateritic clay, clayey sand, the weatheredandfresh basement. Faultlines and fractured zones were not observed in all profiles.
